Great news for businesses located in tornado effected areas. Telcom & Data has been working with Thunder Eagle, Inc., a leading manufacturer of Tornado Early Warning industrial grade NOAA weather radios for the past 25 years, to deliver early warning solutions to large commercial sound systems. The Weather Eagle 100 receiver and the

The Thunder Eagle system was engineered for, and has been in active service in, weather mission critical locations such as PSAPS, business headquarters, factories, schools, security offices, sports venues, and command centers for decades. For example, Thunder Eagle systems are in active use automatically opening FEMA tornado shelter doors and setting off municipal tornado sirens throughout the country when the National Weather Service (NWS) issues tornado warnings.

Thunder Eagle is happy to pre-program the receivers for specific weather threats such as tornados, flash floods, hurricanes, and blizzards and county locations to make installation as plug and play as possible.

When asked about why Telcom & Data was recommending and installing the Thunder Eagle radios the President of Telcom & Data said, “ Thunder Eagle radios are able to provide severe weather detection faster and better than other sources. Giving people the ability to evacuate even 1 minute sooner can make the difference between life and death.”

Thunder Eagle radios have many sophisticated diagnostic features that help to verify that the NWS alerts are actually being received and properly decoded, including recording the last weather alert into the receiver, both in analog audio format and decoded SAME for later playback and analysis. The NWS has often used these features to troubleshoot and maintain the national NOAA weather radio system. Consumer grade NOAA radios do not provide this level of sophistication and reliability. Special radio filters limit locally generated RF from interfering with the reception of weather alerts.

For facilities that need full time weather forecasts, information and radar, in addition to warnings, Thunder Eagle integrates the Weather Eagle into a full web site with local professional weather station that is accessible through web browsers.

The Thunder Eagle radio and encoder can be connected to Supervised Paging System to automatically broadcast a weather alert throughout a building notifying employees to take shelter. For more information please call 800-335-0229 ext 834

Businesses installing VoIP Phone systems frequently run into integration issues with peripheral devices such as phone paging, intercoms, loud phone ringers and analog TDM connections. Telcom & Data has announced it has signed an agreement to distribute CyberData’s new innovative SIP-enabled IP Paging and Two-way Communication/Access Control devices that are PoE.

CyberData’s new VoIP Phone Paging, intercom, loud phone ringer and IP phone strobes are designed to enhance SMB through Enterprise level VoIP phone system installations. When migrating to VoIP phone systems many analog TDM devices such as phone paging systems, door intercoms, loud phone ringers, phone strobes and other analog devices no longer operate as part of the change over from TDM based phone systems to VoIP. Utilizing Cyberdata’s IP technology as part of an overall VoIP phone system solution delivers cutting edge and cost-effective results, and is an essential element of any VoIP phone system installation. CyberData’s SIP-enabled IP Paging Endpoints utilize digital communication technology in place of outdated analog technology. This increases reliability and allows a broader range of useful information to be transferred between devices.

Ricardo Trinidad President of Telcom & Data was quoted as saying that “ there is a real need for these types of two way IP communication devices and Cyberdata’s product offerings certainly meet these needs.” Mr. Trinidad went on to say that “there are several areas to the Cyberdata product line including, VoIP Paging Amplifiers, Zone Paging, IP connectivity to analog paging systems, IP addressable ceiling speakers, Loud IP Phone Ringers, Door Intercoms and IP Phone Strobes. Cyberdata solutions can be used for a number of verticals including healthcare, education, industrial and hospitality industries. “ According to Bill Majerczak, sales manager for Cyberdata, Cyberdata’s success with their product lines lies in it’s ease of set up and use. Every device can be plugged into a POE (power over Ethernet switch) for power and is easily programmed. Devices work with any premised base or hosted IP phone system

Good News for Schools wanting to Upgrade their school paging intercom systems.

Most schools have invested in upgrading IT networking infrastructure through out. New cabling, servers, smart boards, IP Phones, increased bandwidth have all played a part in keeping with current technology.

Telcom & Data introduces PENTON IP School Paging Solutions. Penton IP School Paging solutions are easy to implement on to any existing IP Network. The TERRA-SERVER is an audio distribution system for Public Address and evacuation purposes which rest on an Ethernet/IP networking architecture. It is capable of making microphone calls, starting prerecorded messages or routing music through the network from a central based server and/or operator unit. The Terra Server is easy web based and easy to manage from anywhere. School districts can set up several schedules to accommodate Grade school , middle school and high school schedules.

The Terra Server software can also be installed on multiple computers at the same time, associate with microphone paging desks, IP matrix, and IP terminals. In the network, at least one computer must act as TERRA-SERVER and carrier the content of prerecorded messages and the music libraries. This server-PC is also used for system configuration settings and logging. Because this server plays a vital role in the system it can be linked to a back-up server system.

The system offers features such as single button access to individual classrooms, page all rooms, inputs for background music or recordings, and tone signals for class start and stop times.

XOP Networks, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced conference bridges now offers IP based Hoot and Holler conference bridges. These bridges have proven interoperability with a number of Push to Talk (PTT) four wire FXS to SIP gateways, Turrets, Squawk boxes and a variety of SIP based Hoot and Holler end devices.

Hoot and holler networks are traditionally deployed using point-to-point leased lines that terminate into a TDM based hoot and holler conference bridge that is hosted either by the customer or by the PSTN carrier.

Large corporations have been implementing their own private data networks. These networks typically touch all physical locations that are involved in hoot-n-holler conferencing as well. Hence, a more cost effective approach for implementing the hoot network is to convert the traditional 4 wire devices (PTT Radios, Phones, Squawk boxes etc.) into SIP end points with the help of media gateways and then connect the resulting voice paths to an IP based Hoot-n-Holler conference bridge over the data network.

Our IP based Hoot-n-Holler conference bridge is a robust Linux based platform that is designed to fulfill the ‘always on’ audio conferencing needs of large mission critical networks

The benefits of using the IP based Hoot and Holler network approach are:

Eliminate the need for expensive leased lines

Improve hoot and holler network manageability

PSTN connectivity to H-n-H network

Reduce the time to troubleshoot a problem from hours to minutes

Pave way for adding native SIP based Hoot-n-Holler end devices going forward

One of the largest airlines in the world recently deployed XOP Networks’ IP based Hoot-n-Holler conference bridges. Two conference bridges are deployed in Hot/Standby high availability configuration at two separate geographical locations thereby ensuring 99.999% availability.

“Our IP based Hoot-n-Holler conference bridge is a robust Linux based platform that is designed to fulfill the ‘always on’ audio conferencing needs of large mission critical networks. It supports both legacy TDM and VoIP/SIP interfaces thus allowing our customers to migrate their hoot-n-holler networks towards packet based networking at their own pace,” said Sudhir Gupta, CEO of XOP Networks.

“Our recent success in deploying IP based Hoot and Holler network at the large airline customer proves the validity of the business case. Our customer now has a modern, robust SIP based conference bridge that paid for itself in less than 4 months,” added Doug Jacobs, VP of Sales, XOP Networks.

The Safepath Emergency Evacuation System is a mass notification communication system customized to meet your specifications and budgetary needs.

It is the season of change and transition now that finally the weather is getting warmer after a long winter. The snow is melted and it is being exchanged with sunshine on a good day or rain on maybe not such a good day.

SafePath Emergency Evacuation System

In any event, it is obvious to most that the calendar is at mid-season. This can be great news; however, with transition there are always challenges.

Tornadoes are one of the most deadly weather systems that mankind has to endure. They are still very unpredictable and unstable forms of weather. Through technology and science meteorologists have made great advances in determining where a tornado may hit next, but it still remains difficult to calculate how much time a community has to take cover once one touches down.

Employers of large industrial and manufacturing facilities have a lot of space and need to make sure that employees are notified in time to take cover during an emergency weather episode like this.

This is especially difficult as some of these companies have large amounts of employees spread out amongst equipment and offices. They cannot depend upon just a word of mouth approach as every employee may not be accounted for in such an event and they cannot be sure everyone has been informed in time.

Telcom & Data introduces The SafePath Emergency Evacuation System by Cooper Wheelock. This system provides detailed instructions to safely guide people to building exits during emergency times.The emergency evacuation system can also be used for general paging needs and background music.

During a tornado, employers need a tool to use to announce to their employees to take time to take cover and evacuate.

The Safepath Emergency Evacuation System is now available at Telcom & Data. For more information about The Safepath Emergency Evacuation System, visit Telcom & Data’s website or call 1-800-335-0229.

Sapling clock systems deliver the right time to every unit in the network through advanced synchronization technology. The clocks are perfect for schools, public transportation buildings, and corporations.

Telcom & Data, a leader in mass notification products, is pleased to introduce Sapling wireless clocks (often called “school clocks”). The wireless units are designed to show exactly the same time by communicating with each other. This makes Sapling Clocks ideal for schools, airports, train stations, corporate buildings, and hospitals.

Sampling Wireless Digital Clock “The Sapling clocks are a great addition to our product offerings. They are built-to-last, accurate, and easy to read. The units are perfect for any environment that demands synchronized timing.”

All of the clocks have repeaters built in to each unit. For this reason, there is no need to purchase additional transmitters or extra repeaters. Every clock receives the wireless signal and sends out the signal to its neighboring clock. As a result, Sapling’s clock systems are very accurate. Moreover, the clocks feature frequency-hopping technology. Put simply, this means that the clocks can receive the correct time even if there is frequency interference.

Telcom & Data is now offering a variety of models to meet the unique needs of different applications. The units come in both digital and analog designs – all featuring clear, readable displays.

When Ricardo Trinidad, President of Telcom & Data, was asked about the clocks, he said, “The Sapling clocks are a great addition to our product offerings. They are built-to-last, accurate, and easy to read. The units are perfect for any environment that demands synchronized timing.”

Sound the alarm! Telcom & Data System Sensor Speakers warn of danger with loud sounding producing horns intended for full building notifications to evacuate.

The British are coming! The British are coming! Well not exactly. Paul Revere rode through the night years ago to warn of danger and to signal to the minutemen to get ready. History has shown that a capable warning system that can be seen or heard is essential sometimes to survival.

Depending on location an occasional tornado siren warning or two is not uncommon, and everyone recognizes the loud ringing and flashing lights at a railroad crossing as a train approaches. Everyone absolutely loved the typical fire drill in school with the unexpected loud buzzing sound and the teacher yelling “everybody line up”!

System Sensor Speaker Strobes

Of course, everyone knew it was probably just a drill or at least thought so. The focus was on just getting out of class into some fresh air and giggling with friends. However, in reflection, those drills were extremely important to school safety in case the real thing were happening.

In just a matter of minutes, a notification to evacuate could have been the difference between life or death in this scenario, so early warning was crucial.

These horns increase application flexibility for indoor or outdoor applications as they also notify the property ground. All of these devices can easily be adapted to suit a wide range of application requirements by using field-selectable sound patterns and volume settings.

The British may not be coming today, but Paul Revere would be proud.

System Sensors are now available at Telcom & Data. For more information about System Sensors, visit Telcom & Data’s website or call 1-800-335-0229.
